BTEC offers students the opportunity to achieve A-Level equivalent qualifications that are work-related and vocational. The principle difference between A-Level and BTEC is the method of assessment. Assessment is done through a range of presentations, case studies, practical tasks, written assignments and external assessment. For each assessment, you will be graded a Pass, Merit or Distinction. Students continually know where they are and what they need to do to improve their grade. Much of the content is similar to the A-Level in PE. Year 12 Scheme of work: Anatomy, Physiology, Field and Lab based Fitness Testing, Biomechanics Year 13 Scheme of work: Sports Psychology, Coaching for Performance and Fitness, Specialised Fitness Training, Applied Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Science
To access the Vocational Pathway you will have achieved 5 GCSES at grade 4, which needs to include GCSE Maths and English (Literature or Language). Vocational courses at merit level can be included within the 5 grades required. Students choosing to study vocational courses can still study A-Level courses if they meet the entry requirements and indeed this is recommended for certain career pathways.
Sport and Exercise Science is a theory-based course and although some aspects of the course can be taught in a practical way, students should be prepared to be classroom-based for most of their lessons. The staff will endeavour to vary the teaching style used and allow for opportunities to learn actively whenever possible. Year 12 Scheme of work: Anatomy, Physiology, Field and Lab-based Fitness Testing, Psychology. Year 13 Scheme of work: Coaching for Performance and Fitness, Specialised Fitness Training, Applied Research Methods in Sport and Exercise Science and Biomechanics. Assessment is done through a range of presentations, case studies, practical tasks and written assignments. Anatomy, Physiology and Psychology are tested in an exam and this is worth 25% of your final grade. For each assessment, you will be graded a Pass, Merit or Distinction, depending on the assessment process and the size of the unit points given.
